[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:
I found a pair on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049Y2PIS/ref=mp_s_a_7?qid=1322278595&sr=8-7

These are for the Samsung EHS60, but would these work with the Kindle Fire?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grvthang:
I'm sure they would work; as I said earlier, these headphone/mic combos have a 4-conductor plug (a TRRS), to accommodate two stereo channels for the headphones plus the mic (audio left, audio right, mic, and neutral). A normal stereo headset has a 3-conductor plug called a TRS (left, right, and neutral).

Somewhere around here I have a stereo microphone with a 3.5mm plug. What a kick it would be if it can actually record in stereo (I kind of doubt it, though). Let me go look for that now...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:
Thanks, I think I'll make a guide for this later
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelVash7886:
Sweet. It's not a huge deal for me off the top of my head, but I can only guess as to what this could open up. Skype and what not would be a sweet thing to have on it just for when I don't feel like sitting at my desk.

Here are some good IEM's: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826735014

I use them with my Nexus S, works awesome! Any IEM should work with the Kindle, since the port is capable of accepting.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelVash7886:
My only thing is they are all ear buds, most of the time they don't fit very well in my ears and can even cause my ears to hurt. Will have to try some stuff out once I get my Kindle in.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashFire1:
My earbuds fit fine. I made an official guide on this topic so check it out.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thelgow:
These kinds of headphones/mic's are very common. Just look for anything where the jack has those 3 dividers. Blackberry's usually come with these.

I work in IT for a big company, so we have boxes of these wires that people just throw out.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnU$UAL ROC:
It Works!

I Have a few from my iphone i know the skull ones work for sure!

Check out my guide if you need help deciding which headphone/mic combo to get.

I'm using my iPhone4 earphone with mic, doesnt seems to work. May I know what audio recorder did you try ?

try to use skype, installed fine on KF but everytime I call or somebody called me, it rings but then disconnected after I pick up ! :O
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick12345678:
this is sad, i intend to buy a iphone 4 earphone, hix, anyone have alternative solutions ?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terracode:
The iPhone 4 mic/headset does work, but with only a few sound recorder apps. It seems that telephony apps fail with a FC or don't provide audio.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shefo:
I tried the 3 separate mic/headphone jack with the kindle fire on skype app, it doesn't recognize the mic at all, i hear the other side though
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
That is because even the OP has never gotten this to work on the Kindle Fire.

Skype and Google voice will not work with this.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bldvx:
any change? maybe someone could try to make this work by software change, maybe the skype or gtalk app by redirecting them to the external mic instead of them looking for an internal mic, or a firmware change that would believe the external mic as an internal one aswell.

Just droping a few ideas for you talented people out there, id really want to see video calling happen on my fire, I hope someone is looking into it.

Good luck if so and keep this tread alive.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimranSingh:
I'm currently on vacation, and I have these nice Klipsch ear phones with a mic on the wire. I tested it out on Sound Recorder on my CM7 KF. It recorded really well and I'm going to use the SIP + Google Voice method to turn my Kindle into a phone! Yeah!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incabrain:
I hope you're back from vacation, figured it out, and wrote a guide on it :) Any more progress on testing this?

Has anyone found a USB-based audio input device that works on the Kindle? I'm thinking more for music studio type recording.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
You can't use the USB port for peripherals on the Kindle Fire.

Hey guys

Some of us here are aware of the current issues faced with the current recovery provided to us by anzhi. There are issues writing to boot partition hence having to flash boot.img manually and wipe data/factory reset seems to not do as such. With this in mind I approached Paul O'Brien founder of Modaco to compile a new recovery based on same original sources but with correct partition numbers etc. This has been done so I am posting this as a reference to his site.

command: fastboot flash recovery r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img(tip is to type r1 then hit tab to complete full line without typing it all)

http://android.modaco.com/topic/348973-clockworkmod-recovery-5027-unofficial-modaco-edition/

****** this is no my personal work so i take no personal credit for its functionality. as usual use at your own risk******

I can't download the file is it only me?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Are you registered on the site? I had no problems downloading it
[HTC Sensation XL] diegomtoscano:
Registered where ? modaco our filesonic? When I hit the download link it takes me too filesonic I'm registered on modaco but no to filesonic anyone that can share with me a dropbox link :)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Scroll down then click slow download. After 30 secs enter catchaphrase then download. Just been on a downloaded it just to check
[HTC Sensation XL] diegomtoscano:
Thanks I dunno why I wasn't able to download from the phone but from the pc it worked
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Use Firefox or dolphin hd
[HTC Sensation XL] diegomtoscano:
Thanks just pushed new recovery to my phone maybe that was the problem I was using maxthon browser
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Well its sorted now so all good. Should have a new cappy Rom soon
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
Hi @All,

How must I flash this recovery?

with adb?

what about an installation guide?

thx, jammysunny
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
if you search you will find quite easily. read first post
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
Maybe I dont understand....there are two or more alternatives, so you can write it in busybox, commander of your Handy.....it adb with PC.....
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Fastboot in bootloader mode! Not sure i know what you have done here but procedure works
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
So, bootloader mode, then plug to PC, open Commander, type in fastboot blabla....?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Yes using fastboot flash boot r1............ done
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
I need little Help...

I wanted to go to adb, so, I wrote "adb fastboot reboot-bootloader, but nothing happens.....
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Man are you kidding lol! Turn phone off and turn on while holding vol down and power. There thats bootloader. You cannot adb fastboot! adb reboot bootloader or just do it manually mate. If it doesnt work manually make sure fastboot is turned off in settings and try again. Once in bootloader fastboot will be highlighted so press power to select it and it will say fastboot usb plug. Type command there in cmd prompt. Have to be in folder where adb and fatboot tools are

No dash between reboot and bootloader
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
I checked it now^^

I wondered, why typing "fastboot reboot-bootloader" doesnt manage this commandline....

further, I didnt unlock my bootloader, so my first step was the great problem.....

But thx for your answer^^
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
the first step is to unlock bootloader................. i stated that! why is it that some of you guys just dont follow procedure! all this time spent trying to help you and your bootloader was locked! you cannot flashed recovery nor permanently root without that!
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
shame on me:(

You know the wayy to unroot my XL?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
re lock bootloader and flash a RUU package. if you havent unlocked the bootloader root is only temp so rebooting device removes root
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
To flash I need an original O2-Rom, and cant find some:(
[HTC Sensation XL] frenchnutt:
Hi guys,

my phone isn't s-off and when i made s-off on htc dev, i have a signature failed

have you an idea ?

does my fastboot not updated ?

C:\sdk\SDK\tools>fastboot flash unlocktocken Unlock_code.bin

sending 'unlocktocken' (0 KB)... OKAY

writing 'unlocktocken'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

C:\sdk\SDK\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (4808 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

thanks for your help
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
Your Phone wouldnt be S-Offed with unlocked Bootloader....

You only can unlock the Bootloader....have you checked your Root, the Java and SDK? Very important to update and install them...

another reason why, not all data is in your box.....
[HTC Sensation XL] claudenegm:
it's "unlocktoken" not "unlocktocken"

try this instead:

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
[HTC Sensation XL] jfuolu:
Flashed this recovery.!

When i turn off my phone and plug it on the charger, my phone boot up in recovery :(

Help me go back stock recovery.! :o
[HTC Sensation XL] jeandujardin01:

PS: your sig say "Sensation XE" ....

[HTC Sensation XL] DutchDanny:
I just downloaded the same file, and all worked fine.

Copy paste the text from first post to get all typos out.
[HTC Sensation XL] danny19901:
tried flashing fastboot flash recovery r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img when the file is named r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img then i get a message saying cannot load r1-recovery-etc.img but when i rename the recovery img to recovey i get this but after i keep getting same anzhi clockwork recovery which wont flash any roms
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
if can flash anzhi then modaco shouldnt be a problem mate. re download modaco recovery and you can rename it recovery. remember file is already an image file with ext .img so dont need to rename recovery.img just recovery. i have no issues flashing the modaco recovery and have done many times. nonetheless anzhi recovery should boot as seems to have flashed correctly. however can remove anzhi recovery from sdk folder and rename modaco and put in there. i have flashed roms with anzhi recovery without any issues at the beginning

also as r1 recovery name is so long when typing cmd just tab after typing r1 and will auto complete the long string
[HTC Sensation XL] danny19901:
this is what happens when trying to flash a rom and this is anzhi clockwork which some reason won't let me flash pauls version

it doesn't matter what i do it wont let me flash roms also su is fully updated if that helps sorry about large photos i had to use my samsung galaxy s2 running MIUI ROM
[HTC Sensation XL] jeandujardin01:
OMG what the heck are you trying to flash ????

the two ROMs you can flash are these:

RCMix3d Runny XL v1.2

BinDroid SXL RUNMED2.5 V1.0

HTC Sensation XL is DIFFERENT from HTC Sensation (XE) so stop trying to flash ROMs made for other phones
[HTC Sensation XL] rlamba:
Recovery

I have done what you have said but it just says

<waiting for Device>

Does it mean I have to load HTC Drivers. I do not have HTC Sync on my Computer. Any help please.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Just to be sure you need to install HTC sync and sync phone to get all drivers installed. Then remove HTC sync from PC. Sounds you do not have correct fasrboot drivers installed. Android 1.0 driver needs updating. Might be incorrect driver. There are various android 1.0 drivers depending on device.
[HTC Sensation XL] danny19901:
i never knew my bad i got a few roms from rom manager i thought they worked is this the only roms out if so which is the best i like sound of the RCMix Rom but link didnt work and thanks very much i got a working link for RCMIX Rom http://www.multiupload.com/JTWT7DAUPQ yes finally flashed a new rom thanks very much much appreciated ok not good installed RCMix Rom installed fully it changed my boot image and then the lockscreen shows but no statusbar and after unlock black screen
[HTC Sensation XL] jeandujardin01:
full wipe (data/cache)
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
I unlocked the bootloader of my Sensation XL, white, EU. I rooted it, flashed recovery (it said it was "okay"), but starting recovery (after pulling out the battery) gives me only the white HTC screen. I repeated flashing (and again it said "okay"), but still no recovery menu. I am out of options. What to do?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Is it the white screen where it tells you the H-boot information etc and where fastboot is? If so there should be a recovery selection there, press vol down to highlight recovery and then press power button to select it. you should then be able to get into CWM recovery...
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
No, it is the Boot screen, which also appears with normal boot. Only the letters HTC on it. See attachment.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Can you get into the fastboot screen? If so the recovery will be an option on that screen. Take battery out and put it back in then hold Vol down and power till fastboot screen comes on (this will only work if you take the battery out first). If its been successful you will see a recovery option, if not follow the steps in the first post of this thread again...
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
I have done all those things. At first I thought, maybe I have the wrong version of fastboot.exe. redownloading it via the HTCDev website, and flashing again changed nothing. Fastboot says that it succeeded. But no recovery-menu, although I pulled the battery out and restarted my phone. Strange...
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Have you got HTCsync installed? If so un-install it because that can interfere with fastboot...

Are you actually going into fastboot on the phone when your flashing the recovery?
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
I will uninstall! This could be the reason! Yes I'm in fastboot.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
That looks like its worked to me. When you get to bootloader screen there should be an option to go to recovery from there it should be under fastboot.
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
Yes, I get that option, but when I select recovery, only the white HTC-screen appears. B.t.w.: uninstalling HTC-sync, and than reflashing the recovery-image didn't work :(

Edit: just tried Tenfar's recovery, and it works!?

@[Vertigo]: thank you for your help! I will try Tenar's recovery first. No idea, why this one doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Well the next thing i would suggest is relocking the bootloader and flashing a RUU file from here and return to stock. Once you've done that start the whole process again... but please make sure you follow shingers5 tutorials to the letter.
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
Yes I get that option, but when I select recovery, I get the white HTC screen. B.t.w. uninstalling HTC sync en reflashing did not work. I pulled the battery. When I choose factory reset, than the white screen appears too, but nothing happens. With a normal restart I still have my original settings.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
You don't choose factory reset on the bootloader screen. Have you unlocked bootloader at HTCDEV? If so boot into fastboot and then in command prompt type fastboot oem relock and that should relock your bootloader in order for you to flash a RUU stock rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317895
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
should I flash a stock ROM, and then try again, you mean?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Yeah, to be honest thats what I would do
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
Strange, my last post is missing: the other recovery installed well. I'm running now Bindroid! Thank you very much for your help [vertigo]!
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
No worries, its a strange one that. The Paul O'Brien recovery installed first time for me. Just out of interest if you don't mind trying it, try to flash it again over the top of it :D
[HTC Sensation XL] snear:
pauils didnt work for me either but tenfars did! thanks:)
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
I just tried, but no succes. :confused:
[HTC Sensation XL] Schumi 01:
Hi there, just a quick question concerning Cwm, after i do a Back-up, is it possible to go into where the Back-Up is kept and rename the Back-up Folder? Or will renaming it, have a conflict when restoring the nearly named back up?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
As far as I understand it shouldn't make a difference if you rename the folder
[HTC Sensation XL] Schumi 01:
Thanks, forgot to post earlier on, i did rename the folder and unfortunately it wouldn't restore, it failed on the first check. I cannot remember what it was now, something do to with MD5, i am not too sure.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Must be something to do with the fact that its not an official version of CWM because I'm sure I've done it in the past, that's why I said that it should be OK....
[HTC Sensation XL] MinecraftZombi.es:
Here's an odd thing...

It's been working fine for ages, and now i get 'cannot mount /sdcard/' errors when i try to use the recovery.

Can't do a backup and can't flash anything. can mount USB storage, but nothing ever shows on the PC.

Still able to access the data when booted into android, but just can;t get anything in the recovery to see it.

Have re-flashed the recovery, twice. tried fixing permissions.

checked that it seems to be looking at the right partiion, mmcblk0p33, which is where it should be..

i'm stumped.

any ideas?

Not intending on flashing anything, more interested in doing a nandroid backup at the moment, but of course, that 'cant open backup loacation' at the moment.

If anyone knows another way to do a full backup or system dump, that would be more than enough for me at the moment, i can always work on fixing this later once i know i have a good backup and can afford to wipe everything and start again.

---------- Post added ----------

Ok, so i fiddled some more, still no good.

although i did notice that when i mounted usb storage in recovery, i now get a 256KB drive appear in my computer, which is unformatted and shows as RAW data.

stranger and stranger.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Have you tried flashing the other recovery by tenfar here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348693

I remember having something similar to this on my last phone, the Optimus 3D and flashing recovery again sorted it, but that was the official version and I flashed it through rom manager
[HTC Sensation XL] MinecraftZombi.es:
Had forgotten about that one, thx for the link.

Tried it and still get the same. 256KB RAW drive appears, but recovery won't open the sdcard.

Anyway, gotta leave it for now. Will pick this up again later. Thx for the help.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

next thought.....

i found this in another thread where people are trying to get hold of a hboot...

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/hboot.img

If i were to replace mmcblk0p18 with the relevant blk number, and hboot.img with system.img, woud that actually give me a valid system.img file with a dump of the rom i have?

Still learning on the ADB, i'm afraid. Logically that seems like it would work though.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Ok, seems I'm answering my own questions today...

ried it and Dsixda's kitchen seems to like it, so i guess it worked. At least i have a system dump for working with now.

Thanks all. Just having somewhere to bounce ideas off helped, even when i didn't need an answer in the end.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
How about letting phone boot up and unmounting the sdcard in Settings/Storage and remounting again. Then boot into CWM again and see if that has made a difference.

Can you get onto SDcard when phone is running? If so back it up onto pc and then unmount, format it and remount then try CWM again...

Might be worth a try ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
please advise what roms you have flashed as the recovery can get corrupted if revert to stock rom via ruu.exe and back to custom recovery. the issue could be corrupt recovery image on 2nd flash or sd card mount errors. as vertigo said may need to umount and remount or reformat the internal sdcard. to backup use titanium backup as can do batch or single. i am assuming you have root still. if its sorted then sorry for late post
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Good to see you back mate :)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Thanks man. What Rom are you using now? What's most stable for you?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
I'm using latest bindroid with 1.2.2 BFS kernel... Runs really smooth and fast :D
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Cheers as using it now with default kernel. A bit too much blue but it is good.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
If you want the best battery life use the v1.0.2 kernel, its got extra governors but no OC... go here mate http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21793607&postcount=193

But Danny has been working on the newer kernels and they are getting a hell of a lot better ;)

I also think that is one of the things that put me off the CoreDroid rom was the fact it was over skinned if you know what I mean, I'm more of a minimalistic look kinda person. But I know a hell of a lot of people like it, so it could be just me ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Yea I love the skinning work and it can go a bit too much. I have used their roms before on hd2, desire hd and sensation. Battery life has always been an issue with their roms but they look good
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Flashed that kernel and received an immediate speedboost over default in rom. Very good indeed. Gonna see if these kernels work with coredroid roms as I am bored. Have you tried it
